I have read around , can't findnow the link , that Crytek will be releasing a free version of the SDK just like UDK , so there will not be the need of the game is this right?

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/gd...ngine-3/711318
Confirmed at the end of the video

Well seems that they didn't release an editor for the Crysis 2 game and lot of features promised in the videos are not present in the final game like procedural destructions that are just prescritped events in the game sequences.....

what we are aboput to expect next? will they release a fully functional editor and sdk or not?

Seems as much will be added with updates like UDK...
If the docs I have read are correct
DirectX 11 is not supported in the current sdk and will be added in a later update!

You could get the C2 editor which has DX11 included

Just started using cryengine for a portfolio project (mainly to experiment with the landscape and foliage) though is there any way for it to remember my terrain brush settings? As soon as I go to play it reverts to the default and also kicks me out of the modify tab. Just a minor issue but maybe you guys know a setting I am missing.

You need to click Generate Terrain after you paint it, I had that same issue.

I'm doing a tutorial on creating broken concrete in CE3. Somthing that I thought was missing on the internetz! I'll be updating this thread until all the parts are done.. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100867

This is the version i did before the tutorial, so something like this.

sltrOlsson - looks awesome man!

Is there a way to turn off terrain/make the background a different color like dark grey for presentation shots, view wise similar to that of Marmoset?

If nothing else you could set up a material with a completly plain gray color, apply it to a box. Just use a material that can display color without reacting to light. Or turn of all lights and make it self illuminate..

You can also hide them temporarilly in the right panel. Or create a visarea volume and change its bg color. The later can also get rid of sun lighting and athmospherics.

Thanks guys, will try those out

Hey man, I downloaded this. It's a 1 GB setup. It has everything, including objects and texture packs. You just have to extract them to the game folder.

Sorry, posted in a wrong thread. This is about Crysis Sandbox, not standalone Editor, it seems. New post is situated there: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showp...7&postcount=43

Please delete this. :)

I thought i would finally get my thumb out of my ass and start learning the Cryengine SDK, but after many attempts i fail miserably.
Im at the stage where i install all the plugins, I got the Crytiff working no problem but the CryExporter for Max 2012 X64 is giving me a issue that impare me from continuing.

TLDR;

I have dropped the plugin file CryExport14_64.dlu in my Plugins folder but when i try to change the shader from Blinn to CryShader Max crashes, every time. When i open max i get the box that said that it found the Cryengine root folder and that rc something is found.
Any help here?

Sorry dude, I had the same problem. So I switched over to a Maya workflow =P Which is a little bit more tedious but at least it works.
